DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, a new bedspread device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the bedspread system 10 generally comprises a mattress 12 that may be slept upon. The mattress 12 has a top surface 14, a bottom surface 16 and a peripheral edge 18 extending therebetween. The peripheral edge 18 has a front side 20, a first flanking side 22 and a second flanking side 24. The mattress 12 may be placed on bed frame or the like. Moreover, the mattress 12 may be a mattress 12 of any conventional design.

A blanket 26 is provided and the blanket 26 is removably positioned on the mattress 12. The blanket 26 has a pouch 28 and the pouch 28 engages the mattress 12. Thus, the blanket 26 is retained on the mattress 12 to enhance an appearance of the mattress 12. The blanket 26 facilitates the mattress 12 to be freshly made.

The blanket 26 has a perimeter edge 30. The perimeter edge 30 has a forward side 32, a rearward side 34, a first lateral side 36 and a second lateral side 38. The blanket 26 is folded having the forward side 32 being directed toward the rearward side 34. The forward side 32 is spaced from the blanket 26 to define the pouch 28. The pouch 28 extends substantially between each of the first lateral side 36 and the second lateral side 38.

The blanket 26 has a pair of cuts 40. Each of the cuts 40 extends between an associated one of the first lateral side 36, the second lateral side 38 and the forward side 32. Moreover, each of the cuts 40 angles toward the rearward side 34 with respect to the forward side 32. Each of the cuts 40 defines a pair of wings 42 on the blanket 26.

The forward side 32 has a pair of straight portions 44 and a curved portion 46 extending between the straight portions 44. Each of the straight portions 44 extends inwardly from an associated one of the first lateral side 36 and the second lateral side 38. The pouch 28 insertably receives the front side 20 of the mattress 12. An elastic member 48 is coupled to the blanket 26. The elastic member 48 is coextensive with the forward side 32 of the blanket 26. Thus, the forward side 32 frictionally engages the mattress 12.

In use, the blanket 26 is manipulated to position the front side 20 of the mattress 12 in the pouch 28. The forward side 32 of the blanket 26 is positioned on the bottom surface 16 of the mattress 12. The blanket 26 is positioned on the top surface 14 of the mattress 12. Each of the wings 42 drapes downwardly along an associated one of the first flanking side 22 and the second flanking side 24 of the mattress 12. Thus, each of the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge of the blanket 26 is spaced from the bottom surface 16 of the mattress 12. The pouch 28 facilitates the blanket 26 to be uniformly positioned on the mattress 12.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, system and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
